Majuscule (Capital letters) is one of the most struggled part in Copperplate calligraphy. In this workshop, Charlotte will be breaking down the entire uppercase alphabet from form to movement and execution. This hands-on class will involve plenty of one-on-one guidance to help each student correct their mistakes along the way.
